What to know about flights to Mexico City:

On average, a flight from the U.S. West Coast to Mexico City is 5 hours non-stop. A flight to Mexico City from the U.S. East Coast averages 6 hours non-stop.

On average, a non-stop, round-trip ticket to Mexico City (Benito Juarez International Airport–MEX) costs $270 USD. 

But: you can cut down your flight price dramatically by making flight reservations for Mexico City well in advance (a month or two before your trip). If tickets are bought only a few days or weeks in advance, the price doubles or triples, and inexpensive non-stop options become very difficult to find. 

The most expensive months to fly tend to be during the holidays—the height of summer (June and July) and the height of winter (December and January). Flight prices go down in February, October, and November when schools are in session. Read more about seasonal prices in this Mexico City travel guide.
